Speaking with Brila FM, Abiodun praised Eagles manager Eric Chelle for discovering new talent for the senior national team.
“99% of those players that played against Zimbabwe are players that we have never seen before.
But I know Tosin Durosimi, the one who came in, and Okonkwo, because I have seen him severally in action for Wrexham.
Honestly, look at what the boys did; their performance is what I have been talking about for a very long time.
I am really impressed with the performance of the players. This is talent. Kudos to Chelle for unearthing those new players.”
